Hello,

Since today, when I plug in my USB drive, it is recognized as "removable disk" and I cannot access the data. This happens on multiple computers.
When I open the drive, I get the message "insert a disk into the drive" and it is impossible to format the drive.
I should specify that I bought this drive 2 days ago and it worked perfectly before.
What can I do to get it working again?
My drive is a Sony 64 GB.

Thank you.

    Start
    type cmd <enter>
    in the list above, right-click on "cmd.exe"
    run as administrator

    In the window that opened, type this:
    diskpart
    list disk
    ( Find the number of the USB drive in the list under "Disk #", then type by replacing n with the number of the USB drive

    select disk n
    clean
    create partition primary
    select partition 1
    active
    format fs=ntfs quick
    assign
    exit

    And that should be good...

      When I do "clean", "it" tells me that it is impossible because no disk is inserted.
      Moreover, "it" shows that the capacity of my USB stick is 0 bytes. Do you know what to do?
